Tom Raymond Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 My son is a freshman this year. His mother and I were a little upset that he dropped spanish to make room for digital photography in his schedule. He took these before school started with a tiny Nikon point and shoot. There are some technical flaws but the compositions are pretty impressive for a 13 year old with no training, even if I am a little biased. Maybe dropping spanish wasn't such a bad idea.

Les Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 third one #748 is my favorite. I certainly am not a professional, but do know what I like to look at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I like the third one, too. He is looking at things from different angles which is good. For a beginner, I think composition is more important than execution. If he enjoys it he will get better at the execution. Learning photo software is a must especially with cheap cameras.

kurt Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Agreed on composition. Makes or breaks it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Class requires a DSLR with manual focus. Fortunately we were able to borrow on. They have a great program. They are learning camera functions, interpretation of others work, composition, and post production with Photoshop. Ill post his progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 ...digital is incidental to photography. It mainly just frees the user from film limitations. User still has to master composition, exposure, sensitivity, depth of field, f-stops, and shutter speed. I like most of these. Today's phones have pretty good cameras on them for point and shoot.
